The outage left thousands of residents battling dry taps, although the system had shown significant improvement by Sunday morning. 

Various parts of the city were left without water following a major trip at City Power’s Orlando Switching Station on Thursday.

Joburg Water spokesperson Nombuso Shabalala says alternative water supply is being provided to affected areas.

At the same time, the supply levels at several towers have shown an improvement, including Alexander Park Reservoir, Crown Gardens, and South Hills Tower.
